Abstract

A VLSI high-speed local feedback unity gain amplifier is discussed. The voltage gain depends on device matching only and is independent of temperature and of power supply variations. The DC-voltage gain is 1.04 or+0.45 dB. The input impedance at low frequencies is more than 10 MΩ and the output impedance is about 250 Ω. The -3 dB bandwidth is about 400 MHz at a total load of 3.7 pF, and can be increased to beyond 1 GHz at a 0.5 pF load. Rise and fall times are less than 4 ns at 3 V amplitude. The power dissipation is about 30 mW. The VLSI circuit was fabricated in 1.25 μm CMOS technology. The chip size is 60 μm×60μm
